Rescue of aberrant huntingtin palmitoylation ameliorates mutant huntingtin-induced toxicity
Huntington disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG expansion in the HTT gene that codes for an elongated polyglutamine tract in the huntingtin (HTT) protein.

CD36 facilitates fatty acid uptake by dynamic palmitoylation-regulated endocytosis
Fatty acids (FAs) are essential nutrients, but how they are transported into cells remains unclear. Here, we show that FAs trigger caveolae-dependent CD36 internalization, which in turn delivers FAs into adipocytes.

Elevated exogenous palmitic acid promotes the S‐palmitoylation of SRPK1 in endothelial cells, a dynamic process governed by ZDHHC24 and APT1. This post‐translational modification strengthens the interaction between SRPK1 and the E3 ubiquitin ligase MIB1, thereby facilitating the proteasomal degradation of SRPK1.

Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is critical for the type I interferon response to pathogen- or self-derived DNA in the cytosol. STING may function as a scaffold to activate TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), but direct cellular evidence remains lacking.

Lost in traffic: consequences of altered palmitoylation in neurodegeneration
One of the first molecular events in neurodegenerative diseases, regardless of etiology, is protein mislocalization. Protein mislocalization in neurons is often linked to proteostasis deficiencies leading to the build-up of misfolded proteins and/or ...

Palmitoylation of Hedgehog Proteins [PDF]
Hedgehog (Hh) proteins are secreted signaling proteins that contain amide-linked palmitate at the N-terminus and cholesterol at the C-terminus. Palmitoylation of Hh proteins is critical for effective long- and short-range signaling. The palmitoylation reaction occurs during transit of Hh through the secretory pathway, most likely in the lumen of the ER.

Fas palmitoylation by the palmitoyl acyltransferase DHHC7 regulates Fas stability [PDF]
The death receptor Fas undergoes a variety of post-translational modifications including S-palmitoylation. This protein acylation has been reported essential for an optimal cell death signaling by allowing both a proper Fas localization in cholesterol and sphingolipid-enriched membrane nanodomains, as well as Fas high-molecular weight complexes.

Advanced Human Immune Cell‐Organoid Co‐Cultures for Functional Testing of Cancer Nanovaccines
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma remains difficult to treat. We establish an organoid–immune co‐culture using patient‐derived organoids and matched T‐cells to assess cancer vaccines. A mesothelin‐targeted nanovaccine activates antigen‐specific T‐cells, increases IFN‐γ, and targets MSLN+ organoids.

Recent advances in S-palmitoylation and its emerging roles in human diseases
S-palmitoylation, one reversible post-translational modification (PTM) involving the binding of palmitate to proteins, influences protein stability, localization and interactions.

Palmitoylation of ACE2 at Cys141, Cys344, and Cys498 facilitates its extracellular vesicles localization [PDF]
Objective To identify S-palmitoylation sites on angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2), the cellular receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus(SARS-CoV) and SARS-CoV-2, and to investigate the functional relevance of these modifications ...
